Banksy – Doh!

While the show begins with the familiar scene showing the Simpsons on their sofa, the credits take a dark turn — with a minute-long animation showing dozens of sweatshop workers painting scenes for the cartoon in a filthy warehouse filled with rats, human bones and waste.

Kittens are thrown into a wood chipper to create stuffing for Bart Simpson dolls while a chained unicorn collapses as its horn is used to punch holes in Simpsons DVDs.

Some of the artist’s ideas were so elaborate that some of the show’s animators threatened to walk out, The Sun claimed.

Banksy, whose real identity has never been confirmed, is renowned for his guerilla-style tactics in which pieces of his graffiti-art appear without warning in public places.

Previously he has drawn a life-sized replica of a Guantanamo Bay detainee at Disneyland.

Banksy has already created his own take on the Simpsons in his own work, showing a boy writing lines on a blackboard.
